Darysya is Slavic in Origin.

Darysya is an East Slavic affectionate form of Daria/Darya or the Ukrainian Daryna, formed with the -sya/-usia diminutive that yields tender, familiar names (compare Marusya from Maria). It appears in Ukrainian and Belarusian speech and literature, occasionally recorded as an independent given name in the 20th–21st centuries, especially in diaspora communities. The root traces back to Latin/Greek Daria, from Old Persian Dārayavahuš (Darius), meaning “to hold, possess good,” hence “wealthy; upholder of good.” In Ukrainian folk interpretation it also echoes dar, “gift,” giving the cozy sense “little gift.”

Variants and close forms include Darusya/Darusia, Darysia, Darsia, Dasha, Daryna, Darya, and Daria; Belarusian spellings may show Daryja/Darysa. Related masculine is Darius. Usage across Eastern Europe has been sustained by the cult of Saint Daria of Rome, with revived popularity in modern Slavic naming that favors affectionate formal names.
